    file. They apply only for the duration of the
    recovery.  They must be reset for any subsequent recovery you wish to
    perform.  They cannot be changed once recovery has begun.

>     Settings in <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"

     <TT

     Hash marks (<TT

>#</TT

     line as a comment.  To embed a single quote in a parameter
     value, write two quotes (<TT
